Black and Blue
Chapter Nine:- Pink and Red Hearts
A/N: Pink and Red Hearts aka the mushy chptr lol. I decided to put out a mushy, lovey-dovey chptr on Valentine's Day. Hope you all share/shared it with someone special. Unfortunatly me and my boyfriend recently broke up but Valentine's Day is still fun, talk about all the candy! lol. Anyways onto the story.
Danny walked home only to find that it was covered in yellow tape and he couldn't get in. He found his parents outside talking to an officer.
"What's going on here?" Maddie yelled. "This is ridiculous! This is my house and-" She stopped noticing Danny. "Danny!" She shouted hugging him tight. "What's going on here?"
"I'll tell you if you let me breathe." He said in a high voice. He proceeded to tell them what had happened once she let him go.
"I knew that ghost boy was trouble!" Jack shouted once Danny was done.
"Dad, I think you missed the point. He's innocent." Danny still didn't tell them he was the ghost boy though.
"Oh…" Jack whispered.
"Can we go see Sam? Have her parents been contacted yet?"
"Her parents are there with her by now but I can't go see her until I get the 'okay' from Detective Browning."
"How long will that be?"
"I don't know." Danny sighed. "I'm going to go find Tucker." He started walking towards Tucker's house.
"Hey." Tucker said walking out his front door. "I was just going to see Sam, wanna come?"
"I can't until I get a call saying I can." Just then, he got a text message. "You're both okay to go see Sam." He read aloud.
"Both? I wasn't aloud to either?" Tucker asked.
"No, he means me and Danny Phantom."
"Did you tell him?"
"Yeah. He found out first though."
"Really?"
"Vlad's his cousin, so I think that helped the great detective." He laughed.
"Cheater." Tucker said.
"Yeah. C'mon, let's go see Sam." Danny said walking towards Tucker's monster truck.
"Hey baby." Tucker said. Danny turned confused but saw him hugging his truck.
"You need a girlfriend."
"Don't I know it?" He laughed then hopped in. When he started the truck, the engine roared and they took off.
It didn't take them long to get there but Danny was counting every second. So much had happened that he didn't feel like he'd been with Sam enough.
"Tuck, I know you haven't seen her in awhile but would you mind if I went in alone first?" Danny asked. Tucker nodded and went to sit down.
"Tell her I'm here though."
"Okay." Danny walked into the room and saw Mr. and Mrs. Manson on both sides of her bed holding her hands. Mrs. Manson looked like she had been crying and Mr. Manson's face was stone. "Hey." He said making his presence noticed.
"Oh Danny." Mrs. Manson stood up and walked over to him. "Thank you so much." She leaned down and hugged him. "Thank you so much for helping Sam out and catching that boy." She pulled back. "We owe you an apology."
"Mrs. Manson-"
"Please, call me Janet." (A/N: I don't know if that's her name or not)
"Janet, it's okay really. I'm just glad Sam's okay."
"If there's anything we can do," Mr. Manson paused as he stood up. "Son, don't hesitate to ask." Danny nodded. He felt a little out of place being called son but at the same time, it was an honor. They both left, leaving Danny with Sam.
"I think they're starting to like you more." Sam smiled at him.
"Well it's about time." He laughed.
"I heard you got into a fight with Adam." She said. "I can see you did too." She said referring to slightly bruised cheek and cut lip.
"Yeah. I got a few good hits in though. He's got a blacker eye than you now." He smiled sitting down next to her.
"I kind of wish everyone knew it was you who saved my life."
"Eh, I don't mind. Danny Phantom can be the hero as long Danny Fenton gets the girl." He chuckled.
"Well don't worry," She reached over and took his hand. "You got her."
"How are you feeling?"
"My side is somewhat numb, the painkillers are making me tired, and I just want to go home."
"You're looking better. Some of your cuts have healed slightly and aren't bleeding."
"Yeah but I'm still sore all over." She closed her eyes sighed. "I have that cut on my inner thigh which hurts when I try to go to the bathroom, all these bruises hurt when I move, I have stitches in my side, and I thank god the headache's over."
"That's gotta hurt."
"Oh it does, and these painkillers suck!" She managed to laugh.
"You never did like modern medicine." They sat there smiling at each other and Sam saw tears form in Danny's eyes.
"What's wrong?" She asked tenderly.
"Nothing." She looked at him like she didn't believe him. "No really. I guess I'm just really happy everything's okay. When I had you in my arms and your blood was covering my body, I have to say, I didn't think you were going to make it. I can't live without you Sam."
"You won't have to." She reached up her fragile hand and wiped away a tear that slipped and started to fall. "I'm not going anywhere."
"God I feel like a moron. You're the one with stitches and I'm the one crying."
"We've both had it rough." He nodded looking down.
"Is your mouth sore?" Danny asked looking back up at her. She shook her head a little confused. "Good." He leaned down and gently pushed his lips to hers. He was careful not to hurt her even though she said it didn't.
The kiss was gentile but filled with years of built up passion. He opened his mouth slowly deepening the kiss. His tongue asked for entrance and she allowed it. Their tongues battled slightly for a few moments before it was broken by Danny pulling back abruptly.
"Something wrong?"
"No…I just," He paused. "It just felt unreal, like I'm dreaming."
"Is that good?"
"Very good." He leaned back down and kissed her again.
Sam smiled into the kiss as electricity shot through her body. She hadn't felt this good since the last kiss they had years ago. She started thinking that it might have all been worth it just to kiss him this once.
"I love you Sam." Danny said once he pulled away.
"I love you too, more than you know." They smiled and he leaned down for one final kiss. Once they broke the kiss again, Sam yawned.
"You should get some sleep. I'll be outside if you need anything, Sammy."
"Danny," She said once he got up. "Don't call me that." He nodded with a slightly confused face. "That's what he called me."
"Oh." He whispered understanding now.
"Oh and," He turned back to face her. "Thanks." He smiled and left.
-----
The next day, Sam was released from the hospital but told to check in. Her parents drove her home and she was forced to stay in bed all day and do nothing no matter how 'fine' she felt.
"Ugh I'm so bored!" Sam shouted to thin air.
"Well I'm sorry." Danny said flying outside her window. "They still won't let you get up?"
"I'm so bored!" She shouted again.
"Maybe I can help." He smiled phasing into her room. He sat on the side of her bed and moved closer to her. All she did was smile and place her hand on his cheek drawing him closer. She closed her eyes only inches away from him when her dad came in.
They all stayed still for a moment unsure of what to do. Her dad had found her about to kiss the ghost boy. Sam removed her hand and Danny stood up to face her father.
"Dad?"
"I'm deciding weather I should kill him for breaking and entering or thank him for saving my daughter." He said staring at Danny.
"I'd prefer the thank you." Danny laughed nervously.
"I suppose so. Thank you," Mr. Manson held out his hand. "Danny Phantom." Danny reached out and put a firm grip on his hand.
"Anything for Sam," He smiled and released his hand. "She's on of a kind."
"Yes she is." He looked at his daughter and smiled at her. "My wife and I owe you an apology." He said shifting his eyes back to Danny's green ones. "We thought, even after the whole earth going into the ghost zone thing, that you were against us. If you saved my daughter, there must be good in you and I can say this for my wife and myself; you have our trust." Danny smiled at him. "I know that doesn't mean much but-"
"Oh believe me, it means something." He looked back at Sam and smiled at her.
"If I catch you that close to Sam again though, my trust might change." He turned and left but left the door open.
"I don't think your dad likes the idea of you dating a ghost." Danny said.
"That's okay. I'm only dating a half ghost." She smiled at him.
No not the end again lol. There will be one more chptr after this and I'm thinking about an epilogue. The story has basically wound down. The chptr will just wrap it all up for you guys.
